My Malinois is the mischievous dog in my house. She takes items out of the sink if they have one molecule of food on them. She has stolen everything from my countertop that you can imagine. She's the only one. I thought it was maybe a girl thing.

Mine does nutty stuff, but no nuttier than my GSD's have ever done (like my old czech pup that used the grill cover to tug the huge grill off the patio and partially across the big backyard only to have it finally fall over on it's back, shortly after purchase).

Yeah, they are definitely more energetic and intense but I wouldn't call them more nutty than a GSD.

She's got a strong personality. There is a difference but I wouldn't call it nutty. I love her intensity and how quick and agile she is.
That being said, our Shepherds have gotten into the dishwasher as well. It's not just her. I was joking when I was like "Think twice before you get a Mal."

I think I'm really lucky. The Website of the breeder, from a GSD breeder standpoint, is a red flag. Not much information. No kennel names, pedigrees etc. I could order her pedigree via the Continental Kennel Club, and maybe I will because I'm super curious but I'm lucky because she is a great dog.

For the most part, she nicely settles down, she mainly sleeps on the couch with my husband, right on top of him.

Oh man.. I can picture that. Nala can't keep her big nose out of the dishwasher when I am loading or unloading it.

My Aussie would do stuff like this. Even at 11 she still couldn't be left loose in the house. One day after she had gone blind I was feeling sorry for her and figured since she was blind she couldn't do much harm, right? I came home to this in the kitchen, she had even jumped onto the counter and pulled stuff off the top of the fridge. The living room looked the same

Naughty dogs are the best

LOL Sasha did something like this once. I came home and the first thing I saw was a fork in front of my front door, which I was pretty sure was not where I left it. I walked into my kitchen and she had just taken it upon herself to open the dishwasher and take out some of the dishes lol Crazy, smart, dogs.

Wolfie did that once when he was a puppy. I had the dishwasher open, and he got angry because I wasn't paying attention to him, so he grabbed the bottom rack and ran. LOL!
Ahh the good old days!

My BF is the same way, we have actual dishes and glasses but he loves to use the unbreakable stuff (Which in that case was a good thing) and we have plastic gator cups from a couple of the UF gator games and he uses those like they are going out of style.
I'm about to toss them because he has used them so much they are worn out lol
